KERosENE-orn BURNER.

.To all whom t may concern 1 represents'a front view thereof, and Fig.

' any other convenient manner. In starting -2 is a detailedcross-section of the burner,

taken on the line 2;-2 of Fig. 1.

Like parts are referred to by the same reference numerals in both views.

l iS a kerosene oil reservoir, from which oil is led to the furnace 2,through duct 3 and valve 4. Water is also simultaneously led to thefurnace 2 from the reservoir 5, through the duct 6 and valve 7 The duct6 is connected with a large air duct 8 through the branch duct 9. Thelarge duct 8 is connected with a blower l0 of ordinary construction, andthe blower l0 is driven by an electric motor 11. The electric motor 11is driven from a source of power 12, and such source of power 12 may beeither a `dynamo or battery. 13 is a switch by which power iscommunicated to the electric motor through `the wires 1li-14. Air isdriven to the furnace through said duct 8 and valve 15, when such airco-mingles withA the 'kerosene and water, as su-ch substances enter thesaid duct 8., the horizontal member 19x of which forms a vaporizingchannel, whereby a combustible vapor is produced in the burners 19-19,and said combustible vapor is ignited from the gasolene pipe 2,0, or inthe furnace, the valve 21 is rst opened when Specication of LettersPatent.

Appiicafion med July .15, 191s. serial No. 244,913.

a small quantity of gasolene is introduced 1n the duct 20, whereby thekerosene in the burners 19-19 becomes vaporized and ignited and passesup through the furnace, whereby the water in the furnace is heated.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a device ofthe described. class, the combination with a heater, of a burner, akerosene reservoir, a duct leading from said reservoir to said burner,an electric motor,

va fan driven by said motor, an air. duct leading from said fan to saidburner, the horizontal member of which forms a vaporizing channel, agasolene duct located beneath said vaporizing channel, valves forregulating the flow of air, water and kerosene to said burner, a valvefor regulating the flow of gasolene to said gasolene duct, a waterreservoir, and a duct leading from said water reservoir to said burner.

2. In a device ofthe described class, the combination with a heater, ofa burner, a kerosene reservoir, a duct leading from said reservoir tosaid burner, an electric motor,

a fan driven by said motor, an air duct lead-4 ing from said -fan tosaid burner the horizontal member of which forms a vaporizing channel,means for regulating the speed of said motor and fan, a gasolene ductlocated beneath said vaporizing channel, valves for regulating the iowof air, water and kerosene to .said burner, a valve for regulating theiow of gasolene to said gasolene duct, a water reservoir and a ductleading from said water reservoir to said burner.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in the presence oftwowitnesses.
